First time here?

Relax & enjoy the experience

We will not ask you to stand up or make a fuss. We’ll shake your hand and say hello. Many people want to check out our church quietly for a while — and that’s perfectly fine with us.

Expect a warm welcome and a bulletin at the door. Inside you’ll find a Communication Card — drop it in the offering plate or bring it to our visitor station for a small gift and more info about MC3. If you have children, we’ll help you check them in to age-specific programming.

Worship Service

Sundays at 10:30 AM

Designed for everyone regardless of faith stage. We sing God-centered worship, pray, and hear a message with Biblical truth applicable to real life. Offering plates are passed but visitors are not expected to give.

Every service includes Holy Communion (open to all believers) and ends with an opportunity for prayer or to give your life to Christ. Services run about 1 hour and 15 minutes.

10 things that define MC3

An honest picture of who we are and what we’re committed to.

1

A church family devoted to Christ

Help everyone take one step closer to Jesus by accepting Christ and growing in devotion through Celebrate, Connect, and Commit.

2

Modern, Contemporary Worship

Worship that transcends songs and lights while connecting spiritually and emotionally, whether they are believers or not..

3

Focused on the ONE who needs Christ

Adhering to Christ’s teachings in Luke 15— where Jesus talked about the lost sheep, the lost coin and the lost son—we will be a church more focused on capturing the one who is lost than pleasing the 99 who are saved.

4

Vibrant Children’s & Student ministry

We know by statistics that if someone is going to accept Jesus as their and Savior, they will most likely do so before age 18. As a result, we must make a commitment to put children at the forefront of what we do.

5

Deep Commitment to Prayer & Scripture

Everything we do must be grounded in our relationship with Christ and the Word of God. We are committed to daily prayer and a deep, consistent pursuit of Scripture in every area of life.

6

Weekly Connect (life) groups

We offer weekly Connect (C) groups, or small groups comprised of six to eight individuals or five to six married couples, that meet in someone’s home for fellowship, Bible study, prayer and accountability.

7

Commitment to Serve

All able-bodied members serve in Children, Students, Worship, First Impressions, Connect Groups, Prayer Team, & the community. This list is intended to be the starting point to helping us achieve our vision & mission.

8

10% of Budget Dedicated to Missions

We prioritize generosity by setting aside a portion of our budget to support missions locally and around the world. Giving isn’t an afterthought, it’s built into who we are and how we serve.

9

Part of the Restoration Movement

Not a denomination — “Christians Only.” We look solely to Scripture and identify with the New Testament Christian Church.

10

Elder Protected, Staff Led

A board of elders governs and spiritually shepherds the congregation while church staff leads day-to-day operations.

Families Welcome

Safe, fun, and Spirit-filled for your kids

For babies & preschoolers, elementary children, middle schoolers, and high school students.

Every leader passes a rigorous application process including a background and spiritual formation check. First-time check-in takes just a few minutes — or pre-register online to save time at the door.

In each ministry, kids learn in engaging, age-appropriate environments led by people who genuinely love children and love Jesus.

Frequently Asked Questions

Park in front of the church — we’ll have a host at the door to welcome you and point you in the right direction.

What will happen at my first visit?

Relax and enjoy. We will not ask you to stand up or make a fuss — we’ll shake your hand and say hello. Many people want to check out our church quietly for a while, and that is perfectly fine. Come see if MC3 is the right fit for you.

What is your dress code?

Don’t worry about what to wear — MC3 is a multicultural, multigenerational church. You’ll feel at home in jeans or something dressier. God doesn’t care what you wear, and neither do we.

We have separate programming for babies/preschoolers, elementary-age children, middle schoolers, and high school students. All leaders pass a background and spiritual formation check.

Yes — first-time guests complete brief paperwork at check-in. To save time at the door, you can pre-register your children online before you arrive.

What is MC3’s mission & how will it impact me?

Our mission is to help people Walk One Step Closer to Jesus. When you get to know Jesus in a real and personal way, He changes everything — your life, your family, your work, your community, and your world.

If you’re ready to take that step, come forward at the end of any service or call us at 770-783-1035.
